Abstract

A method of constructing optimal multicriteria filters for optical pattern recognition is presented. In the particular case of synthetic discriminant function filters, this method is illustrated for double-optimization criteria, and filters that are not overspecialized are obtained, in contrast with traditional techniques. Furthermore, a rigorous comparison between different filters, with respect to the considered criteria, is provided with this approach.
